Join renowned Brazilian chef Yara Castro Roberts and retired French/American executive Richard Roberts to prepare and enjoy together a refined Brazilian dinner with the best of Brazilian cuisine. The menus are from six regional and historical cuisines such as Minas Gerais, Bahia, Amazonas, Cerrado. These are also the subject of our new book “The Brazilian Table” that have been nominated and a finalist at International book awards. The evening begins at 8:00 PM sharp and end about 11:30. We start by serving a caipirinha and Richard Roberts shows a unique way to make it. Next, guests are invited to gather around the stove to join or just watch the preparation of the dishes. Then we all sit at our decorated table and enjoy the four-course dinner we made together, with wine from Argentina or Chile. We end with coffee or mint tea and a tasting of aged cachaça.

Yarra is a charming host with a wealth of information about Brazillian cuisine and culture. First a hands on demo of how to create the perfect Cachaca cocktail. Next a palm hearts starter. Followed by fish fillet rolled and stuffed with crab meat cooked in a traditional moqueca sauce. We were just 7 students so taking a turn at the...

The evening itself was fantastic. We arrived at 8, and met the other 6 people that we would be spending the evening with. We...

Wow. Totally unexpected for a colonial town in Brazil. A modern concept executed flawlessly. Yara and Richard welcome you into their home as though you are family. They teach you cookery but also history and give you a wonderful culinary tour of Brazil and a great meal. This is a must. This couple are fantastic, lovely, knowledgeable and just brilliant!

We stumbled upon Yara and Richard in the Lonely Planet. It seemed like a fun way to spend an evening, so we signed up. They do require a 50% deposit in advance, but since we were only arriving the day of the class, they graciously allowed us to bring them the deposit the same day. Yara and Richard provided a...

I’ve lived in Brazil for 4 years now, have traveled a lot, and done many different activities here, so when my parents visited me for two weeks, I was hesitant in participating in this class, especially after hearing the price. While this is not an inexpensive activity, it is worth every dime! Robert and Yara are amazing hosts that personalize...

We had a great evening at the Academy, with pleasant and interesting conversation.
The food was good, but it's more the concept that makes the difference.
It could have been Excellent instead of a Very Good if the wine was on the table instead of in the fridge ... a petty.

We are so glad we decided to do this. Yara and Richard are such great hosts and we learned a lot about the Brazilian cuisine. We also met so many great people that we continue to stay in touch with. It was one of our most favorite nights of our 3-week honeymoon in Brazil. Can't recommend it enough!
